1. FertilAid and Fertile CM is working! I chart my BBT every day. For the most part, there is no consistent noticable way of tracking ovulation. My temps could range from 96 to 98 on a weekly basis with no rhyme or reason. However, as of the last 5 days my temperatures are almost identical! I contacted a FertilAid representative and she informed me that this is a definite sign that the pills are working to regulate my entire reproductive health. I also have noticed a definite increase in my CM (cervical mucus) and according to my charting, I am due a visit from Aunt Flow in 5 days. Then I will begin Clomid and will no doubt share an update at that time too.
2. FertilAid for Men is working for Tim! (we think) We have both noticed an increase in Tim's sex drive, (not that he needed any help lol!) but I also just have a gut feeling that it has improved his little swimmers. We are about to start out 2nd month supply of the pills. Fingers crossed!
3. I got my hair cut, highlighted and styled! I will share a picture below of the cute new 'do. It is definitely a new look and for the most part, I like it! It's easier to manage, and is versatile! I'm still learning new ways to style it, and it's fun. :) It also helped me feel more like a woman, and confident. Thank you to my hubby for encouraging me to have a little "me-time" and get pampered for a day.
4. Thanksgiving! The holiday has come and gone so quickly! The day was mostly pleasant and filled with SO MUCH good food. I enjoyed every thing I ate- and boy did I eat! Whew! I will share a photo below. I am SOOO thankful for the family I have, the food I was able to indulge in, and that my dear Mom is still able to prepare such a big, glorious feast. I am thankful for my loving husband, and all of the little blessings I have all around me in my life. What a great day to feel humble.
5. My sister is in town. I got to spend some time with my sister Ginger who is in town from Georgia. It was nice to have one night with just us girls; laughing, being silly and having fun. I wish we had more of those days, but it was nice and I am thankful we were able to do it.
6. I found out yesterday, on Thanksgiving, that I have a half brother that my dad "fathered" YEARS ago, and I never knew about it. I have not met him, and I actually heard about it through the grapevine by accident. Although I am crushed to know I didn't get to hear it from my own father... I am trying hard not to let that and the whole situation back then bring me down. I'm also praying for peace for those involved, and some sort of understanding and help to forgive the one person I can't.
So that's about all that has happened since my last post... Other than those things, I am just going day by day, praying for guidance as well trying very hard to count my blessings. I am fortunate to have all I do, and I will try harder to cherish those things and not be brought down by the inability to have a baby yet or other unimportant, negative things that life tosses our way.
Happy Holidays! I hope you are all enjoying this magical season. I wish happiness, love and good spirits to all of you. Thanks for reading my thoughts. :) Until Next Time... XoXo
